Heaven gains another angel today, although she had already been one here on earth for some time. My grandmother meant more to me than I could ever put into words. The one person in this entire world that I can honestly say showed me what unconditional love was. Many people would rightfully shy away from raising another set of children in their "Golden Years", yet she embraced it. She had me on a pedestal and always let me know how grateful she was for me. I will cherish the memories of rooming with her, watching Golden Girls and Wonder Years, to riding our bikes up to the store and balancing all of our bags on the handlebars (all the while hoping they wouldn't get caught in the spokes). She was the keeper of sound advice and my biggest fan. I hope that I can come close to making my children feel the same love that she gave to me. Growing up I had a competition with her every night where we would see who could say, "I love you and I love you more" first. We held on to that competition through the years. The last true smile that she gave to me was earlier this week when I said it as I kissed her good bye for the day.
May you be reunited with your children and parents and I will hold your great grandchildren close in comfort as you always told me, "Children are the best of remedies"...and I love you and I love you more.
